Introduction

My husband, Ethan Hayes, CEO of Innovatech, ordered me to go.

Not a polite request, but a summons from the reclusive billionaire, Mr. Donovan Sterling.

My pregnancy made it worse.

His eyes were fixed on the stock market, not on me, his pregnant wife.

His assistant, Chloe Vance, stood beside him, her own stomach betraying her secret: she was pregnant with his child.

It was a chilling replay of a past life, a nightmare I' d been frantically trying to escape.

I handed Ethan divorce papers, but Chloe only sneered, then "accidentally" drenched me with water, her eyes fixed on my growing belly.

Then Ethan, fueled by Chloe's whispered venom, shoved me into our dark, claustrophobic wine cellar.

When Sterling' s men arrived, Chloe handed me a signed divorce paper, gloating, along with a bottle of water.

That water was poisoned. It was meant to make me lose our baby, to destroy me, and frame Mr. Sterling.

Lying on the floor of Mr. Sterling's mansion, clutching my stomach as my world went black, I wondered: how could they be so monstrously cruel?

Did they truly believe they could get away with it all?

Could karma truly be so blind?

But they underestimated my desperation, and the silent call I made weeks ago.

They didn't know I had a lifeline, a secret ally.

Now, as they plan their lavish wedding, they have no idea the wronged wife they thought they'd eliminated is about to reclaim everything she ever lost.
